Just got the new update
FYI the rollout has begun! 13.5 MB download and my Tbolt is updated to 2.11.605.5 Didnt even have to manually search for it. Started automatically and took maybe 15 minutes to complete. Voice mail issue and other bugs noted have been resolved.
Google Voice SMS stops updating after 2.11.605.5
I use Google Voice for almost all my SMS text messaging. Since the TB was updated to 2.11.605.5 I've noticed that when not on Wi-Fi that Google Voice inbound SMS will sometimes not alert on the phone and even when going in to the app directly and using the refresh option that new messages will not display. This is despite…
Only have 1x service.
The past 2 weeksmy phone keeps going into 1x service all the time. Can anyone help me fix this or tell me why it's doing it? My screen broke not long after I got the phone, so I know if I call customer service they will just send a replacement. I don't want a replacement because I don't want to pay the 100 for a…
Helpful Hints
I decided that I would help all of the T-Bolt users with something that I use and it works. If you download Desktop VisualizeR from the Droid Market, you can create shortcuts on one of your home screens of the invisible apps (Dock Mode and Clock). The application is really simple to use, but if anyone has a problem just…
sound alerts not loud.
I downloaded GB yesterday. Now I can barely hear my phone ring or my notification alerts. Volume is all the way up. What can I do to fix this?
Will they ever help me?
I'm just so frustrated today. A lot going on, and to top it off this darn phone! Sorry this is just a rant, no specific technical issue today, just the whole phone in general.. HTC made a great paper weight. I've called them, they wont do anything. Verizon wont do anything either. I'm stuck for 20 more months with a phone…
Desktop Cradle
It usually takes a lot to get me to complain, but I think someone from Verizon needs to explain this. On the latest update (1.70.605.0), it specifically says "Desktop cradle App is now available, showing clock in landscape mode.". Okay I got 2 desktop cradles (one from Seidio and the other is the HTC version) and I have…
WIFi at home
For some reason my Thunderbolt has stopped picking up my home WiFi. Any ideas why? I can still pick up other WiFi, just not in my house. It worked fine for the first month or so, now it keeps trying to connect, but won't. Any help greatly appreciated. Derrick

Thunderbolt front facing camera shows incorrect colors and grainy
Thunderbolt front facing camera shows a images which are pixilated, grainy and colors are off. I wiped the camera data and did not change. Should I try a master reset or get another phone. The front facing camera has had the problem since I got the phone. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Text Message crashes on start up
I am on the 3rd Thunderbolt and when you try to open text messaging you get a screen that says "com.android.mms has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.' The only option is force close. Has anyone found a fix, Verizon does not have a clue other than clearing the cache.
CLNR Thunderbolt serial mismatch
I'm on my third CLNR Thunderbolt (first one wouldn't hold a data signal other than 1x and the second one had a non working microphone). I was just poking around in the settings menu and I noticed something funny. The serial number reported by Settings -> About Phone -> Phone Identity and the serial number printed on the…
power settings shortcut?
I was wondering if there was a way to put a power settings shortcut on my home screen so I don't have to go menu>settings>power to enable power efficiency mode. I noticed if I went to the personalize tab on the bottom left of the home screen and went to "add items to home" and hit the shortcut button then went to settings…
Problem: One message wrongly marked unread
I have one text message that keeps saying it's unread, but I have read it. If I delete that one, the one before from that person is turned to unread. If I get a new one from her, THAT one stays marked as unread even after I open it to read it. I have checked my contacts and calendar to make sure no alerts have been…
Home, Menu, Back, and Search buttons
Hello all, I just bought this phone 5 days ago, and already turned in the first one. Here is the issue: when I bring this phone out of sleep, or press top button when the phone is on, the icons at the bottom of the phone light up, or should I say try to light up. I know that they are supposed to light up at spacific…
Email Sync issue
Has anyone found a resolution for an issue I'm having with email sync? I have several accounts on my phone, with the primary being MSN. That account is following sync rules properly (every 15 minutes on peak, 1 hour off peak), but all the other accounts are only syncing on demand. I have verified that my settings for each…
Post-Update Display Problem
So far most everything after the update has been working fine except one thing... and I want to stress that this never happened before the update... Has anyone else had uncontrollable dimming/brightening of the display when on automatic brightness while the phone is in use? It's starting to drive me crazy because... Even…

HTC Thunderbolt "RED LIGHT OF DEATH" ?!!?!!!
My phone decided to randomly quick working today. The screen is totally frozen. I tried everything. I even tried Hard Restore.

The 2.11.605.5 update has broken phone calls via headset capability
I've installed the latest update 2.11.605.5 this week and it has caused the phone to stop working with the 3.5mm headset that was working prior to the update. All other capability works (voice recorder picks up the mic and I can hear playback), music works too, the only thing that does not work is the phone calls. I am…

My dumbest smart phone
I would like one accurate, complete answer from one provider, either Verizon, HTC, or Google. Voice Dialing, is the worst feature, not only that, it's dangerous. Why would you create a feature, for "hands free" if you have to look at the device to make sure of what you have asked the voice dialer to dial. There is NO…
Thunderbolt Issues - Force Close, "Out of Space", Texts Going To Wrong Person
First, I kept getting "force closure" messages and got the phone replaced twice. Verizon updated the software as well. Next, I get "out of space,delete messages" which I'm told is an issue that is "being worked on". I have to hit 'Okay" to this message each time I need to read an email and this happens sometimes four…
Accumulating trash
Hi All, I'm accumulating trash on my phone and I don't see a phone function to delete it. When I download a photo out of an email, look at it, then delete the email, the photo stays on the root directory but doesn't show up when I use the Gallery app. There does not seem to be any way to know it's there, much less how to…

Can a text message thread be saved to my computer for printing?
Is it possible to easily save the entire thread of text messages onto my computer for safekeeping? I would also like to be able to print them?

About half of the amazon apps that I bought say "app not owned". Is anybody else having this problem?
